Senegalese done!

Well, last week I touched up the second box of Senegalese after my first box was done shortly after release. I have 19 in total, one LMG broke which when I asked for a replacement Warlord was kind and sent a full box, that is customer service.Reminds me of the old GW days where they took care of their customers and made them feel valued. I love that....

As for a quick review....
Hates: Soft/small weapons, that is why an LMG was damaged it was bent like a U and barely attached, snapped right off. The rifles are thin so be careful with them. I am also disappointed there was no pistol option or any of the figures with enough room to cut a hand off for a pistol without holding a rifle, all the rifles are at some point molded into the body and would require some severe work to alter.

Likes: Senegalese, nuff said there! I love tough fighters and regular, cheap and useful. Lots of character and plenty of detail on the figs.

Enjoy the figs!

About time! Warlord releasing WW2 Senegalese Tirailleurs



Yep, Warlord dropped a 12 days of Christmas teaser saying there is a run of new French goodness which to me this has been one of the long overdue! Nobody made Senegalese Tirailleurs and I for one have been starving for them to enter my French Army, I was so desperate I was about to order WW1 figs to use! Now instead I get a cool boxed set with an SMG, LMG and Grenade Launcher! Whoo!


Can't wait to order two packs! Looks like 10 to a box based on the images shown...images are from Warlord Games!

A few random figures done!

Well, done for now...I may go back and add some more greenery later but for now they are ready for the table! Many of these have been done for weeks but I have been lax in taking and posting photos.

Volkstrum fall in!

Hilter Youth defends their home!

Overall, these have been a blast to paint as each figure Volkstrum and Hitler Youth were all to me individual models with lots of character. I tried to vary my colors and yet keep a theme to them of a rag tag last Levy defenders. I am looking forward to throwing these children, old, infirm, women, injured soldiers and misfits that could not qualify for military service to the battlefield to test their mettle!
